If the image is confused and not centrally located and there is a
drastic loss of bass and low midrange level, recheck your connec-

Subw
oofer positioning
With a cr
ossover point below or around 150 Hz, the installa-
tion position of subwoofers is not limited as human ears and
brains are not able to identify the emitting point of such low
frequencies. To get the best result, it is recommended to try dif-
ferent positions and choose the one giving the best response
in the low frequencies, taking into account the room acoustics.
Hooking up the subw
oofer
2 possibilities ar
e offered to connect the subwoofer with your
system:
■
the low le
vel one requiring the use of the
Cinch
RCA LINE IN
7
and
LINE OUT
8
t
erminals and shielded coaxial connectors,
■
the high le
vel one requiring the use of the
FR
OM RECEI-

and
T
O SPEAKERS
0
t
erminals and standard loud-
speaker cables.
The inputs are stereo ones, the mix of the
L (lef
t)
and
R (right)
low fr
equencies being done by the amplifier of the subwoofer.
If the input signal is already mono, only one input
L (lef

or
R
(right)
should be used.

If the pr

fitted with a low level output, you should then connect the
subwoofer by using its loudspeaker terminals. When connec-
